Verbs Like Gustar

While verbs typically used in the 3rd person, often referred to as verbs like Gustar can also be conjugated like all other verbs, they are most often used in the 3rd person. This may seem counterintuitive to native English speakers and can be confusing for those learning Spanish. Here's why:

The verb Gustar for example, is typically translated as to like. In fact, for English speakers, it might be easier to think of it as meaning to please. So if you wanted to translate into Spanish, "I like coffee," you would instead think of it as "coffee pleases me," or a mí, me gusta el café. In this example, the subject of the sentence in Spanish is actually the coffee, and you are the object.
